Chapter 923 is about her boyfriend's reluctance.
Qin Yi didn't expect that Chen Duo shared the same thoughts as him; she also disliked this blind date.
If that's the case, then it will save us a lot of trouble.
Qin Yi opened his mouth, about to speak, when he suddenly realized why he should speak.
Ultimately, he wasn't familiar with Chen Duo, and she was a girl. If he were to say that he didn't like Chen Duo, it would be a clear disrespect to Chen's parents and make Qin Liang feel ashamed.
After Qin Liang goes back, who knows what he'll say about him.
Qin Yi didn't want to take the blame.
And if Chen Duo did this on purpose, if he speaks up and she starts crying and making a scene, she'll be fine, but he'll be caught in the middle.
Qin Yi thought about it again and again, and felt that this would not work.
So Qin Yi remained seated.
Seeing that Qin Yi hadn't reacted for a while, Chen Duo became a little anxious, and a hint of anger appeared on her heavily made-up face.
She thought the same as Qin Yi; she also knew that if she took the initiative to speak, it would inevitably make the atmosphere very awkward.
When Mr. and Mrs. Chen go back, they'll bother her again.
So Chen Duo was waiting for Qin Yi to speak. As soon as he said he didn't like her, she would leave immediately, and then she would have a reason to refuse her parents.
But even though Chen Duo gave Qin Yi several meaningful glances, he didn't react.
Chen Duo was absolutely certain that Qin Yi understood what she meant, but he was doing it on purpose.
The two exchanged blows, silently vying for dominance.
This scene, however, took on a different meaning in the eyes of the three elders.
Especially Chen's mother, as a woman, she understood all too well what the atmosphere between the two of them meant.
She smiled meaningfully and asked Qin Yi, "Xiao Yi, you should be twenty-five this year, right? Do you have a girl you like?"
Qin Yi initially wanted to say no, but after hesitating for a moment, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "Yes."
Upon hearing his answer, everyone else was stunned.
Chen Duo was overjoyed.
It seems the opportunity has arrived.
Chen's mother's expression froze for a moment, then she smiled awkwardly, "Yes, at your age, you should indeed be dating. Who is that girl? Why didn't you bring her today so your uncle and aunt could meet her?"
Qin Yi replied without hesitation, "I'll definitely do it another day."
Qin Liang scolded with a dark face, "What nonsense are you spouting now!"
"I'm not lying. I haven't had a chance to tell you about this yet, but it's mainly because our relationship isn't official yet. Otherwise, I would have taken her home directly."
Qin Liang's expression immediately worsened; he hadn't expected Qin Yi to pull such a stunt.
Chen's mother then asked, "Why isn't the relationship defined? Is it because the girl doesn't want to?"
"The girl is willing, but her boyfriend isn't so willing."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Liang couldn't help but slam his hand on the table. "Shut up!"
Qin Yi's answer surprised both Chen's mother and father.
The two looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
An awkward atmosphere filled the air.
Chen Duo felt it was her turn to take the stage.
She jumped up and complained to Mr. and Mrs. Chen, "Mom and Dad, he already has a girlfriend, why did you still make me meet him! Now look what happened, I've really become a clown!"
Qin Yi also stood up, saying, "Isn't it normal for me to have someone I like? Since we're not meant to be in a romantic relationship, we can still be friends."
"Who wants to be friends with you? Why didn't you say you liked someone sooner! Are you deliberately playing with our whole family?!"
Qin Yi laughed angrily, "What do you mean 'why didn't you say so earlier'? Why should I tell you if I have someone I like? That's really strange. Besides, you didn't even ask me. You deserve to be played!"
"Can't you speak properly!" Chen Duo rushed towards Qin Yi excitedly, and her parents couldn't stop her in time.
"You're a complete jerk! Today I'll teach you how to talk to people properly!"
Without saying a word, Chen Duo started fighting with Qin Yi.
If Qin Yi hadn't known they were acting, he would have suspected that Chen Duo was settling a personal score.
Throughout the entire process, Qin Yi did not retaliate at all.
Chen Duo was still wearing manicured nails when she accidentally scratched Qin Yi's face, almost leaving a mark.
Seeing that things were getting out of control, Chen's father quickly scolded Chen Duo.
"Duoduo! Stop right now!"
Chen's mother quickly tried to stop Chen Duo, and it took her a lot of effort to separate the two.
Chen Duo, still in the scene, pointed at Qin Yi and shouted excitedly, "I've never seen such a shameless person!"
"Who are you calling shameless!"
Chen's mother stopped Chen Duo, "Alright, Duo Duo, stop making a fuss!"
Qin Liang also stood up, glaring angrily at Qin Yi, "You shut up too!"
Of all the people involved, Qin Liang was the most embarrassed.
Before he came, he repeatedly emphasized to Mr. and Mrs. Chen that Qin Yi absolutely did not have a girlfriend, or even a girl he liked.
But who knew Qin Yi would say these things?
Mr. Chen stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Look at the mess we've made today, it's all a misunderstanding."
Just as Qin Liang was about to say something, Chen's father said again, "Xiao Yi, there's no other reason for having this meal today. It's just that the two families haven't seen each other for many years, so we wanted to have a meal together. Duo Duo was being unreasonable, and I'd like to apologize to you on her behalf."
"Dad, why are you apologizing? We weren't the ones in the wrong!"
"Stop talking!"
Chen Duo burst into tears, "I told you I wasn't coming! Now look what's happened, the whole family has been humiliated. Are you all satisfied now?"
After she finished crying and yelling, she ran out.
Qin Liang said to Qin Yi, "Go apologize to Duoduo!"
Qin Yi scoffed, "Why should I apologize? It's not like I made her angry."
"you!"
Mr. Chen quickly tried to dissuade him, saying, "Alright, alright, this can't be blamed on Xiao Yi. Some things can't be forced if they're not meant to be. I think we should just let it go."
Mr. Chen said this not because he was bothered by what happened today, but because he realized that Chen Duo's personality was completely incompatible with Qin Yi's.
Their approach will only push things too far; it won't bring the two together, and might even damage the relationship between the two families.
Chen Duo ran away, but Qin Yi still had to finish his act.
He spoke politely and with composure to Mr. and Mrs. Chen, “Uncle and Aunt, I don’t know why my dad called you here today. If you’re trying to introduce me to your friends, please forget it. I already have someone I like.”
After Qin Yi finished speaking, he turned and left.
With Qin Yi gone, the remaining three people felt even more awkward.
Qin Liang said to Chen's father, "I'm sorry for what happened today. I knew this kid wasn't honest. I should have made it clear to him before we came."
“We also bear some responsibility for this. We spoiled Duoduo and she throws tantrums regardless of the situation, making you all laugh at her.”
